Even more destiny Collector’s editions cancelled

Unlike the fluff and guff-laden special editions of most games, Destiny’s collector’s editions are genuinely limited. Walmart recently cancelled a bunch of their pre-orders for the Ghost edition of the game, and it looks like other retailers are following suit.

Destiny has three special editions. The cheapest and easiest to acquire is the Digital Guardian Edition, which can only be got from Xbox Live or the PSN. It comes with an expansion pass and a few digital baubles.

The Limited Edition contains a steelbook case, a swathe of digital content and a folder with pretty printed pictures. The rather expensive Ghost edition includes all of the above, some golden age relics and a physical replica of the game’s in-game robot, Ghost – which will spew out assorted quotes voiced by Peter Dinklage.

If you’re wondering what it is that has people so excited for the Ghost edition that they’d pay up to R11 000 for the thing, here’s a little video showing what it offers.

for those of you wondering if these shortages will affect those of you who’ve pre-ordered the special editions here in South Africa, we’ve spoken to the distributor and they assure us that everything is still on track.

Editor. I'm old, grumpy and more than just a little cynical. One day, I found myself in possession of a NES, and a copy of Super Mario Bros 3. It was that game that made me realise that games were more than just toys to idly while away time - they were capable of being masterpieces. I'm here now, looking for more of those masterpieces.

Competitions
